Anybody Love Leland Quarterback?

[FrizzleFried]

Jesus... it looks like they really sucked all they could out of that game... it looks like "All American Football" is identical to Quarterback and Elway Team Quarterback.

Elway (1985):

Quarterback (1987):

All American Football (1989):

I guess if you can't create a new game, just wait a couple years, slap a new name on the marquee, change the logo on screen and away you go?!?

Leland did this with their baseball games as well

I believe that Cinematronics changed its name to Leland around 86/87, so it is likely that Leland used the same PCB manufacturer as Cinematronics back in the days of Dragon's Lair.

You're looking for the whole game? I know someone near me who has one that you could probably have for relatively cheap, but shipping is going to be a bitch.

I've always been intrigued by these Leland games. The PCBs look like they were made by the same boardhouse that made the Dragon's Lair PCBs, as they have the same gold traces, dark green fiberglass, and overall style. I've never played the game, but have always found them interesting, and wondered if anyone was into them.

I have a couple of spare sticks also, if anyone needs some. These are the analog spring-loaded ones. I think they were used on Cinematronics Baseball as well.

I've also seen lots of QB to Aero Fighters conversions, in addition to QB to Raiden.

A local arcade turned the monitor horizontal and converted their QB into Williams' High Impact Football (a two player model). They kept the original QB side art intact on the cabinet.

Maybe best arcade football game ever.
Most of the ones around my way got the Aerofighters treatment.
Like seriously EVERY ONE of them.
I even kitted one to AF. Had to. Because money.

Did the Arcade version of this game have the same "fast run bug" that the Elway version had for the NES? I'm guessing not since it's different hardware. Elways Quarterback for NES allowed you to exploit a bug that made your player run so fast no one could catch them. It reminded me of Bo Jackson in another NES football game being too fast. The difference was one was just unbalanced programming versus an outright bug that was easy to trigger.

Love the game, too! (I have the 4p AAF version.)

That snap stick allows you to overthrow the short zone coverage or put it on a back shoulder of a receiver, but it's also not easy to master. It's wonderful!

There's no fast run bug that I know of, but tell me how to use it next time I'm down by 5 in the 4th quarter...

Does anybody have or know where to get a cpo and side art?

Elway Quarterback and All American Football are very similar to each other (same menus, plays, etc). Quarterback has different menus and less plays, which is strange since Elway is the earliest.

I noticed the flyer link on the KLOV entry for Leland's All American Football links to a different AAF - Tecmo's 1987 version, which isn't the same game:

And the KLOV entry for Tecmo's AAF is just titled American Football (no "All"), which apparently was the U.S. name, since it links to a flyer with that name:

Tehkan also seems to have released the same version as Tecmo's, only 2 years earlier (1985):
